I am a Muslim , but only by nameWhen it comes to practicing, what a shame!I go to friends and relatives in suit and tieIt's alright if I occasionally lieYes I practice, BUT when it suits meOr more to the point, when it pleases society.If I show my ankles, they'll point and laughThey'll think it's too short and reckon I'm daft.If I trim my moustache and grow the beardThey'll reckon I'm a fanatic or something weird.If I wear the sunnah I'll get great rewardBut the Kuffaar will look down on me, that I can't afford.Yes I'm a Muslim, but only by nameI make excuses which I admit are rather lame.Yes I'm a sane man and I'm on the right trackWho am I kidding, I feel like a right jack!To hide my inferiority complex I protest it's unimportantThough my heart screams to tell me I'm a blatant fraudulentThe best thing is no-one can hear what's going on insidePeople think I've got it made and with my life I'm satisfied.But I'm afraid this is a fable and it's a pure deceptionI have...

Would you still watch those movies, on your TV set Or would you switch it off, before he gets terribly upset. Would you turn off the radio, and hope that he had not heard And wish that you did not sing, that song word by word? Would you hide your worldly things, and instead...
